COVID-19 or coronavirus has thrilled the entire world population with uncertainty over their survival and well-being. The impact this pathogen has caused over the globe has been profound due to its unique transmission features; that urges for contact-less strategies to interact and treat the infected. The impending 5G mobile technology is immersing the applications that enable the provisioning of medical and healthcare services in a contact-less manner. The edge computing paradigms offer a decentralized and versatile networking infrastructure capable of adhering to the novel demands of 5G. In this article, we are considering multi-access edge computing (MEC) flavor of the edge paradigms for realizing the contact-less approaches that assist the mediation of COVID-19 and the future of healthcare. In order to formulate this ideology, we propose three use cases and discuss their implementation in the MEC context. Furthermore, the requirements for launching these services are provided. Additionally, we validate our proposed approaches through simulations.

基于新型MEC的智能医院应对COVID-19大流行的方法

COVID-19或冠状病毒使全世界的人们为生存和福祉所带来的不确定性而感到激动。由于其独特的传播特征，这种病原体对全球造成的影响是深远的。敦促采用非接触式策略与感染者进行互动和治疗。迫在眉睫的5G移动技术正在浸入以非接触方式提供医疗和保健服务的应用程序中。边缘计算范式提供了一种分散的，通用的网络基础架构，能够满足5G的新需求。在本文中，我们正在考虑边缘范例的多访问边缘计算（MEC）风格，以实现有助于COVID-19中介和医疗保健未来发展的非接触式方法。为了表达这种思想，我们提出了三个用例，并讨论了它们在MEC环境中的实现。此外，还提供了启动这些服务的要求。此外，我们通过仿真验证了我们提出的方法。
